Neville Goddard on Psalms 11:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Psalms 11:1-3

Biblical Context

The verse urges trusting in the LORD and not fleeing in fear. It shows that threats test the foundations, and true security lies within the consciousness of the righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse places you inside the I AM—trusting in the LORD as your unshakable state, not a condition of circumstances. The call to flee is an inner proposal, a thought-form that passes through your mind when fear appears. The 'wicked' and the idea that foundations are destroyed are merely symbols in consciousness revealing a moment you have believed in separation from the Source. The remedy is simple: assume and dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, the building and the builder of your world. Do not seek to alter outer events; instead recondition your inner premise until fear loses its grip and stability returns as a felt reality. When you sense danger, repeat, I am the I AM; I am safe in the inner kingdom. By persisting in that inner trust, your experience rearranges itself—the arrows of fear fall away, and new meanings of security arise. Providence becomes the coherence of your inner state, and the outer appears to reflect your settled consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare, 'I AM the LORD, I am unshakable.' Then revise the flight impulse to, 'I stand here in the I AM,' and hold that feeling real for a minute, returning to it whenever fear resurfaces.
